Just when Ouyang Shuo and Gong Chengshi were talking, Zheng He suddenly walked in.

"Monarch, Lord Gong Chengshi!"

After Zheng He bowed, he came to Ouyang Shuo's side, bending down and saying softly, “Monarch, we have interrogated the prisoners and learned that the Huang Gai Army should have reached here three days ago. Lord Gong Chengshi suggested they meet with Liu Bei, which wasted a few days of time."

Zheng He did not continue to say the following words.

Obviously, the few days that Gong Chengshi had dragged were extremely crucial.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Gong Chengshi who stood opposite him and nodded.

Zheng He understood the situation and backed down.

Gong Chengshi probably also noticed that what he did was exposed.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “You have done me a good favor, so I'll help you too. The Huang Gai and Guan Yu forces, you can take them all back. You can bring these navies back to Dongting Lake and continue to take down Wuling Prefecture."

"Oh? Thank you, Big Brother!" Gong Chengshi was a little emotional.

In the battle map, Lords could capture the native army of the enemy. However, to rule over them was truly difficult. After all, time was limited, and it was hard to settle hearts.

Even if these surrendered soldiers could be used, Ouyang Shuo would not dare to try. What if they suddenly changed sides? That would be catastrophic.

On the contrary, Lords belonging to the same camp would be able to control them easily. Hence, giving this army to Gong Chengshi was like giving him a ready-made strong army.

Apart from that, there was one more point - side quests.

In the Sun Liu Camp, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, and Liu Bei all had side quests. Huang Gai's side quest was to take down Wuling Prefecture.

Hence, if he could complete the quest, not only could he gain large amounts of battle contribution points but also massive quest rewards.

Obviously, Gong Chengshi would be emotional. Through this battle, Gong Chengshi had benefited because of a calamity. He felt lucky, lucky that he made the right choice.

"Apart from the army, I’ll give you a portion of the warships that Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang left. Including the cannons, you can use them." Ouyang Shuo smiled as he added.

"Thank you Big Brother!"

Gong Chengshi did not know what else he could say.

Ouyang Shuo smiled as he got up, patting Gong Chengshi's shoulder, “Why are you thanking me? We are allies!"

"En!" Gong Chengshi nodded; he was filled with thoughts and emotions.

"Go, immediately prepare to set off. Remember, you must enter Wuling Prefecture before they reach Dongting Lake; if not, and we you meet there, it would be really awkward."

"Do not worry Big Brother, I know!"

"That's great!" Ouyang Shuo also believed that Gong Chengshi could complete this matter smoothly.

Before he left, he stopped in his steps, “Brother, Xunlong is just silly, he does not have any other intentions."

Ouyang Shuo froze; it seemed like the friendship between the two was exceedingly deep.

"Do not worry; I’ll deal with it properly." Ouyang Shuo smiled.

"Great!"

Gong Chengshi's smile was a little forced; he sighed in his heart before turning around and leaving.

Looking at the back view of Gong Chengshi, his eyes were very complicated. Through his methods, Ouyang Shuo had finally settled down Gong Chengshi.

"Xunlong? Please do not disappoint me!" Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed.

In the spacious meeting room, a killing intent floated around.

That afternoon, Gong Chengshi led his troops and left.

Along with him was also a Mengchong Warship that carried Guan Yu's head.

Apart from Gong Chengshi, the other two Lord players in Huang Gai Camp were killed and sent out of this battle map. Hence, regarding the details of Gong Chengshi in Red Cliff, no one had any idea.

After sending off Gong Chengshi, Ouyang Shuo gathered Zheng He and Jia Xu to the battle room. After destroying the Huang Ga iArmy, they needed to consider how to face the Liu Bei Army.

Liu Bei had around 20 thousand troops and 50 thousand players for a total of 70 thousand. They also had Zhuge Liang coming up with strategies, so Ouyang Shuo would not take them lightly.

Apart from that, the strategic meaning of occupying Red Cliff also needed to be assigned. The 1st division major general Zhao Si Hu of the City Protection Legion was invited to the meeting.

Battle room.

As usual, Zheng He reported the intelligence, “Monarch, we have investigated that of the resources sent to Yunmeng Lake, the middle point is Wulin, and it has been controlled by us."

"Great!" Ouyang Shuo was more and more pleased with the efficiency of Zheng He.

"In the Wulin Granary, there was a large amount of grain. At the same time, the grain officer showed that three days ago, there was a batch of grain that was rushed to Yunmeng Lake." Zheng He continued, “What was unusual was that five days ago, they had already sent a batch."

"Usually, the grain would be sent once every five days. This new batch was requested by the frontline." Zheng He added.

"Mister, what do you think?" Ouyang Shuo asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was quite certain, “If I am not wrong, there should be a huge war in Jiangling. As a result, the frontline needed a large amount of resources just in case."

"Mister, do you think Zhou Yu can take down Jiangling City?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"It's hard to say!" Jia Xu frowned.

As mentioned, the entire battle was controlled by the players. Jia Xu could not know what tricks Di Chen would pull out.

After all, however strong a strategist, if they did not understand the enemy, it was useless.

"However, based on the situation, it seems like they have a trump card. If not, they would not have requested the grain and so confidently went to attack." Jia Xu continued his analysis.

Jia Xu understood Zhou Yu; he knew that he was not a clumsy or rash person.

Sometimes, the perception of a strategist was extremely important. From some small traces, Jia Xu could deduce what was happening in Jiangling.

In truth, Ouyang Shuo was feeling uneasy. Through the clouds, Ouyang Shuo could feel that a massive blood cloud was coagulating above the city.

The cloud was filled with killing intent.

This definitely was not a good sign. It seemed like Jiangling City was going to end up scattered with bones.

"The Battle of Jiangling is one we cannot help." Ouyang Shuo put aside his emotions, “What we can do is to follow the plan and cut off their grain supply."

"Monarch, do not worry, I have already planned it."

Zheng He continued, “I also want to report that the navy that escaped has already been killed. I've already sent orders to ask them to patrol the river to try and destroy the warship sending the first batch."

"Well done." Ouyang Shuo nodded; Zheng He was becoming more and more decisive. Normal military matters did not need Ouyang Shuo to involved himself.

"Zhao Si Hu!" Ouyang Shuo called out.

"Present!"

Zhao Si Hu bowed with an excited expression.

For this whole journey, the ones with the most pent up frustration were the soldiers of the City Protection Legion after seeing their side fight war after war without them having a part.

The soldiers were making noises and grumbling about joining the battle.

It seemed like their chance had arrived.

"Arrange a cavalry regiment to chase the enemy grain transport track to block the first batch squad. The enemy lacks grain, so we must cut off all their grain such that they cannot get even a single bit." Ouyang Shuo ordered.

"Monarch, do not worry, it will be done!" Zhao Si Hu patted his chest.

The current City Protection Legion was totally new and their combat strength was not ordinary. Even their mounts were all Mongol Warhorses. Chasing the slow grain transport squad was a piece of cake.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, showing that he believed in their ability. This was all he could do for the Jiangling Battlefield at this moment.

……

"To deal with Liu Bei's army, mister, do you have any ideas?" After dealing with the grain situation, Ouyang Shuo focused the discussion on the battlefield.

Out of all of them, Jia Xu knew the most about Liu Bei's squad.

Jia Xu nodded, “Their army numbers over 70 thousand. After taking over Changsha, it would have increased; this time, they'll have more than 80 thousand."

After a short pause, he continued, “With my understanding of him, seeing Guan Yu's head, it can be predicted that he would want to seek revenge."

Thinking back to how the voyage squadron only had 40 thousand, half of the enemy numbers, the expressions of the generals turned solemn.

"The Liu Bei forces have both army and navy forces, but their army is their main. They also have many top generals and a top strategist. Hence, they would not act rashly. They definitely would not enter Red Cliff and fall for our trap." Jia Xu analyzed, “The highest chance would be for them to attack from both land and sea with their main forces coming from land."

"You mean they will sneak attack Red Cliff?" Zheng He asked.

"Red Cliff, Wulin both are possible. Zhuge Liang loves to use plans, and it's hard to guess. The only thing we can be sure about is that before arriving, they would find a suitable point to disembark before charging here." Jia Xu's analysis was really thorough.

This battle would be between Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang. These two top strategists would determine the side that owned the advantage.

No wonder Jia Xu would look so excited.
